BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to novel inhibitors of type I receptor tyrosinekinases and related kinases, pharmaceutical compositions containing theinhibitors, and methods for preparing these inhibitors. The inhibitorsare useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, such ascancer and inflammation, in mammals and especially in humans.

2. Description of the State of the Art

The type I receptor tyrosine kinase family consists of four closelyrelated receptors: EGFR (ErbB1 or HER1), ErbB2 (HER2), ErbB3 (HER), andErbB4 (HER4) (Reviewed in Riese and Stern, Bioessays (1998) 20:41-48,Olayioye et al., EMBO Journal (2000) 19:3159-3167 and Schlessinger, Cell(2002) 110:669-672). These are single pass transmembrane glycoproteinreceptors containing an extracellular ligand binding region and anintracellular signaling domain. In addition, all receptors contain anintracellular active tyrosine kinase domain with the exception of ErbB3whose kinase domain does not exhibit enzymatic activity. These receptorstransmit extracellular signals through the cytosol to the nucleus uponactivation. The activation process is initiated by ligand binding to theextacellular domain of the receptor by one of a number of differenthormones. Upon ligand binding, homo- or heterodimerization is inducedwhich results in the activation of the tyrosine kinase domains andphosphorylation of tyrosines on the intracellular signaling domains.Since no known ligand for ErbB2 has been described and ErbB3 lacks anactive kinase domain, these receptors must heterodimerize to elicit aresponse. The phosphotyrosines then recruit the necessary cofactors toinitiate several different signaling cascades including theras/raf/MEK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. The precise signal elicited willdepend on what ligands are present since the intracellular signalingdomains differ as to what pathways are activated. These signalingpathways lead to both cell proliferation and cell survival throughinhibition of apoptosis.

Several investigators have demonstrated the role of EGFR and ErbB2 indevelopment and cancer (Reviewed in Salomon, et al., Crit. Rev. Oncol.Hematol. (1995) 19:183-232, Klapper, et al., Adv. Cancer Res. (2000) 77,25-79 and Hynes and Stern, Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1994) 1198:165-184).Squamous carcinomas of the head and neck, and lung express high levelsof EGFR. Also, constitutively active EGFR has been found in gliomas,breast cancer and lung cancer. ErbB2 overexpression occurs inapproximately 30% of all breast cancer. It has also been implicated inother human cancers including colon, ovary, bladder, stomach, esophagus,lung, uterus and prostate. ErbB2 overexpression has also been correlatedwith poor prognosis in human cancer, including metastasis, and earlyrelapse.

The type I tyrosine kinase receptor family have been an active area ofanti-cancer research (Reviewed in Mendelsohn and Baselga, Oncogene(2000) 19:6550-6565 and Normanno et al., Endocrine-Related Cancer (2003)10:1-21). Several inhibitors of the EGFR and the ErbB2 signaling pathwayhave demonstrated clinical efficacy in cancer treatment. Herceptin, ahumanized version of anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody, was approved foruse in breast cancer in the United States in 1998. Iressa and Tarcevaare small molecule inhibitors of EGFR that are expected to becommercially available. In addition, several other antibodies and smallmolecules that target the interruption of the type I tyrosine kinasereceptor signaling pathways are in clinical and preclinical development.For example, IMC-225, which is a humanized antibody against theextracellular domain of EGFR demonstrated efficacy and will likely beapproved.

THERAPEUTIC ASPECTS OF THE INVENTION

Therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds of the invention maybe used to treat diseases mediated by modulation or regulation of type Ireceptor tyrosine kinases and/or serine, threonine, and/or dualspecificity kinases. An “effective amount” is intended to mean thatamount of compound that, when administered to a mammal in need of suchtreatment, is sufficient to effect treatment for a disease mediated bythe activity of one or more type I receptor tyrosine kinases and/orserine, threonine, and/or dual specificity kinases. Thus, for example, atherapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from Formula Ior a salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof, is a quantitysufficient to modulate, regulate, or inhibit the activity of one or moretype I receptor tyrosine kinases and/or serine, threonine, and/or dualspecificity kinases such that a disease condition which is mediated bythat activity is reduced or alleviated.

The amount of a given agent that will correspond to such an amount willvary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, diseasecondition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the mammal inneed of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by oneskilled in the art. “Treating” is intended to mean at least themitigation of a disease condition in a mammal, such as a human, that isaffected, at least in part, by the activity of one or more type Ireceptor tyrosine kinases and/or serine, threonine, and/or dualspecificity kinases, and includes, but is not limited to, preventing thedisease condition from occurring in a mammal, particularly when themammal is found to be predisposed to having the disease condition buthas not yet been diagnosed as having it; modulating and/or inhibitingthe disease condition; and/or alleviating the disease condition.

In order to use a compound of the Formula I, or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt or in vivo cleavable prodrug thereof, for thetherapeutic treatment (including prophylactic treatment) of mammalsincluding humans, it is normally formulated in accordance with standardpharmaceutical practice as a pharmaceutical composition.

The amount of a compound of this invention that is combined with one ormore excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily varydepending upon the host treated and the particular route ofadministration. For example, a formulation intended for oraladministration to humans may contain, for example, from 0.5 mg to 2 g ofactive agent compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount ofexcipients, which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight ofthe total composition. Dosage unit forms will generally contain about 1mg to about 500 mg of an active ingredient. For further information onroutes of administration and dosage regimes, see Chapter 25.3 in Volume5 of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry (Corwin Hansch; Chairman ofEditorial Board), Pergamon Press, 1990.

The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of acompound of Formula I will naturally vary according to the nature andseverity of the conditions, the age and sex of the animal or patient andthe route of administration, according to well known principles ofmedicine.

Although the compounds of Formula I are primarily of value astherapeutic agents for use in warm-blooded animals (including man), theyare also useful whenever it is required to control type I receptortyrosine kinases and/or serine, threonine, and/or dual specificitykinases. Thus, they are useful as pharmacological standards for use inthe development of new biological tests and in the search for newpharmacological agents.

The activity of the compounds of this invention may be assayed for typeI receptor tyrosine kinases inhibition and/or serine, threonine, and/ordual specificity kinases in vitro, in vivo, or in a cell line. In vitroassays include assays that determine inhibition of the kinase activity.Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the inhibitor tobind to kinases and may be measured either by radiolabelling theinhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/kinase complex anddetermining the amount of radiolabel bound, or by running a competitionexperiment where new inhibitors are incubated with known radioligands.These and other useful in vitro and cell culture assays are well knownto those of skill in the art.

PREPARATIVE EXAMPLES

An illustration of the preparation of compounds of the present inventionis shown in FIGS. 1-6.

FIG. 1 illustrates the synthesis of imino amidine compounds of thepresent invention. Hydrazones (3) can be prepared by standard methods ofcondensation of the aldehyde (1) with hydrazine (2). This can beaccomplished in a range of organic solvents. Preferably, thecondensation is performed in a mixed solvent system of DCM and IPA.Couplings to form imino amidines (5) can be achieved by heatinghydrazone (3) in a solvent mixture of THF and IPA at about 50° C. in thepresence of an imidate (4).

FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative synthesis of imino amidine compoundsof the present invention. In this route, an amide (6) is treated withPOCl₃ in a suitable organic solvent like benzene or DCM to form theimidoyl chloride intermediate. Hydrazone (3) is then added to thismixture to generate the desired imino amidine (5). This coupling mayrequire slightly elevated temperatures (45 to 90° C.).

FIGS. 3 and 4 outline syntheses of imino amidine compounds of thepresent invention in which a imino amidine (7) is prepared and thencondensed with aldehyde (1). In FIG. 3, imino amidine (7) can beprepared by coupling of hydrazine (2) with imidate (4) in a suitableorganic solvent. The resulting imino amidine (7) can then be condensedwith aldehyde (1) in a suitable organic solvent such as THF and IPA orEtOH at room temperature or slightly elevated temperature (45 to 90° C.)to furnish the desired imino amidine (5). In FIG. 4, imino amidine (7)can be prepared by coupling hydrazine (2) with thioimidate (8) in asuitable organic solvent. As in FIG. 3, the resulting imino amidine (7)can then be condensed with aldehyde (1) in a suitable organic solventsuch as THF and IPA or EtOH at room temperature or slightly elevatedtemperature (45 to 90° C.) to furnish the desired imino amidine (5).

Oxazoline compounds of formula I can be prepared as outlined in FIG. 5.Aniline (9) can be condensed with thioCDl in a suitable organic solventsuch as a mixture of THF and DCE. The resulting intermediate is notisolated but rather treated in situ with amino alcohol (10). Theaddition reaction can be accomplished at room temperature or at slightlyelevated temperatures (45 to 90° C.). Generally, the resulting thiourea(11) can be isolated and carried forward without purification. Thedesired oxazoline (12) can be prepared from the thiourea (11) by one ofseveral routes outlined in FIG. 5. The thiourea (11) can be treated withtosyl chloride and NaOH in a mixture of THF and water at roomtemperature. Alternatively, the thiourea (11) can be treated with avariety of carbodiimidates such as in EDCI, DCC, DCI in suitable organicsolvents such as THF, DMF, DCM or DCE at room temperature or slightlyelevated temperatures (45 to 90° C.).

FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative approach to oxazoline compounds of thepresent invention. Aniline (9) can be coupled with diphenylN-cyanocarbonimidate (13) with or without a base such as NaH or Et₃N inorganic solvents such as DMF, MeCN, dioxane, pyridine, IPA or DCM atroom temperature or elevated temperatures (45 to 120° C.) to give cyanoisourea (14). Preferably, cyano isourea (14) is formed by couplinganiline (9) and diphenyl N-cyanocarbonimidate (13) in a mixture ofTHF/DCE/tBuOH at 80-90° C. Oxazoline (12) can be prepared by couplingamino alcohol (10) and cyano isourea (14) in a variety of organicsolvents including THF and IPA. Preferably, the coupling of (10) and(14) is accomplished in a mixture of THF and IPA at elevatedtemperatures (45 to 120° C.).
